Walk Like A Panther

Marie has set up home With a woman half my age A half-wit in a leotard Stands on my stage The standards have fallen My value has dropped But don't shed a tear Some walk like they own the place Whilst others creep in fear Try if you can To walk like a man But if you don't come near You've got to fly like an eagle Prowl like a lion in Africa Leap like a salmon home from the sea To keep up with me You've got to walk like a panther tonight The old home town just looks the same Like a derelict man who has died out of shame Like a jumble sale left out in the rain It's not good It's not right The standards have fallen My value has dropped But don't shed a tear Some walk like they own the place Whilst others creep in fear Try if you can To walk like a man But if you don't come near You've got to fly like an eagle Prowl like a lion in Africa Leap like a salmon home from the sea To keep up with me You've got to walk like a panther tonight Where did you leave your self respect You like look like a reptile Your house is a wreck Your existence an insult And stains that are suspect Cover your clothes The standards have fallen My value has dropped But don't shed a tear Some walk like they own the place Whilst others creep in fear Try if you can To walk like a man But if you don't come near You've got to fly like an eagle Prowl like a lion in Africa Leap like a salmon home from the sea To keep up with me You've got to walk like a panther tonight Walk like a panther tonight To keep up with me you've got to walk like a panther
